I had an epiphany lately! I am acknowledging that parents really do
know best! When you are young and green you
believe that you know it all and “parents just don’t understand”. We don’t realize that our parents have been through
something similar or worse!

Well, now that I am the parent. I am beginning to see
my children repeating some of the dumb mistakes I made when I ran around
believing that I knew it all! You know what
I am talking about; the talking back (well, try to), the thinking that someone
else’s parents are better or cooler than yours, when they go to sleep we can
get up and be up all night; I ask to use the car to go one place but end up somewhere
else. This list can go on and on, but
you get the point.

It has been a year since I started transferring my
thoughts from paper to this blog. This
blog has been my outlet! A piece of me
that I wanted to share and a place that has helped me understand that I too, am
a mess! I have shared my dates, adventures, and my journeys
within my single life.

Let’s recap:

I have pondered over recycling my ex and getting that
phone call from an ex asking to rekindle the old flame.

Well, I am back at challenging myself to lose those
unwanted pounds, again. Why not add this to my year of self-challenges, right? This time, I am going for twenty pounds. I
want to make the mission more interesting and a greater one.

My previous challenge of Mission 15, I got those
unwanted fifteen pounds off! However, during
the holidays, I managed to gain those back and some more! Come on, don’t give me that look, you wouldn’t
pass up potato pies, pecan candy, red velvet cake, cupcakes or any Christmas
candy in eye sight, would you? With
summer and vacations coming up, now is time to get my butt back into shape.

EP and I have finally spent some real time together,
since meeting. We had an awesome
time! He flew into the city early, so we
had time to go to one of my favorite hangout spots in the city. I took him to Port of Call on Esplanade. He was able to partake in the hamburger with
the loaded baked potato. He loved the
atmosphere and said that he could come back to a place like this.

After eating and having a few drinks at Port of Call,
we ventured over to the Superdome for the Hornets vs. Raptures game. It was really interesting that we decided to
go to this game because he is a Hawks fan and of course I am a Lakers fan! But really the cost of the tickets was hard
to pass up on. The game ended with a
Hornets lost in overtime, but this game was truly exciting.

Once the game concluded, we took a stroll down
Bourbon to find a place to dance and have some drinks. We ended up in Channing Tatum’s
club/restaurant, Saints & Sinners. I
was truly impressed with the décor and the layout of the place. The dance floor was a little small for my
liking, but the place was on point. Did
I mention there is a stripper pole in the center of the dance floor, giving a side eye! The music was slamming which caused us to
stay there until wee hours in the morning.

Recently, I moved and my new place has a huge tree
blocking the line of sight for service with Directv.Therefore, I had to begin shopping around for
cable service. I have had my cable
service with Directv for years and have grown to love the service.

Shopping for cable service sucked because we are only
offered Cox and they truly suck!!!!I
did not want new service and yet alone with Cox.They are a monopoly company which means that
they are price gouging and their customer service is very lacking!

Later, I began to vent to a coworker about the price,
she suggested that I look into At&t U-verse!She was telling me about the packages that
were being offered and she was thinking about switching.A friend also suggested them as well; because
her friend has the service and loves it.I proceeded onto the website to see what they had to offer.

Everyone starts off the New Year with promises that
they try to keep. I like everyone else,
make “false” promises that I will work out, eat healthier, save money and my
ultimate favorite is try to stop cursing.
Haven’t we all wrote and heard the
same song? By the time I am settled
into the New Year, which could be about three weeks, all my resolutions go flying
out of the window. I fall back into my
routine like I had never promised myself I would do these things.

Therefore, this year 2013, I would like to do
something a bit different. Instead of
putting myself on punishment, I want to challenge myself with achieving realistic
goals. Set some goals/challenges that are
going to enhance myself as a person, friend, sibling, daughter and parent.
